No more dancing!!

IMO, addiction comes straight from the devil. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

It took me a long time to finally realize that if I kept dancing with the devil, I would continue to stay in h3ll. And I kept dancing, and h3ll is where I stayed.

Today, I am so thankful to be away from addiction. To be away from the insanity, the evil and destructive nature of someone else's choices.

By the grace of God, I made it out. Today, I am so grateful to be free of something so insidious, so cunning, and so wicked. Today, I am grateful to have my own life back, find my happiness again and rebuild a life in the light. I continue to pray for all those who feel stuck in darkness. I continue to pray you look for the light and follow it.

Yes..it is like dancing with the devil! Literally! I feel like when I've face my loved ones (addicts) it's like looking into a soulless person.

So glad that you made it out and are no longer dancing.

I never was a good dancer, my mother wasted money on tap dancing lessons that didn't help me one bit when I needed them most.

Today I dance with nature and along the shore. I dance with the birds and with blossoms that show themselves this time of year.

No more dancing with the devil for me, sad thing is, he always finds another partner and he likes to lead.

Come on LMN, let's do the hokey pokey and shake it all about...that's way more fun than dancing with addiction.

Ya put your left foot in...

is idling in neutral!

Yes, drugs are the devil. No two ways about it. I use to dance. Now, after being a member of SR for almost 3 years - and becoming a much stronger 'Christian' as knowing absolutely that Christ is King of all - and is always there for us - even when we feel so alone - now when I see my beloved H 'dabbling' / contemplating / battling / having his internal battle 'should I shouldnt' I' - all I see is darkness and the devil - and I say a prayer for himi and I keep a candle lit for him - but I remove myself immediately.

My own take on it is that drugs/alchohol/addiction is the perfect tool of Satan to destroy the person using and their family.

I am not one who tends to supernatural explanations.
But in this case I have to agree with your thesis absolutely
and without the barest whisper of equivocation.

Addiction is as evil as evil gets.
It is a door into hell/ Auschwitz/ the devils heart.
